Both will launch on OUTtv globally later this year and simultaneously on its UK channel Froot.tv.

Drag queen Rosie Beaver is the star of 6×15′ shortform comedy series Rosie Runs Riot. Beaver will be joined by guests from London’s drag scene as she walks around the city streets engaging the public in light-hearted banter.

Live at the Queer Comedy Club (6×22′), meanwhile, features a selection of comedians performing at the titular venue in North London.

“We are excited to have two completely different shows that speak to the queer experience as our first ever UK commissions,” said Philip Webb, chief operating officer of OUTtv.

OUTtv claims to be the world’s first LGBTQ+ streamer and is home to content such as Call Me Mother, For the Love of DILFs and Iconic Justice.
